Desert Thistle Pipe Band

One sound from many . . .

For 38 years, the band enjoyed bringing the sound of the pipes and drums to the Tri-Cities, Washington region and beyond.

In the past few years, members of the band have joined forces with other pipers and drummers from around the Pacific Northwest to form a band dedicated to pipe band competition. The Desert Thistle Pipe Band has now morphed into the Columbia Regional Pipe Band that is made up of pipers and drummers from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.

This website is now a legacy site that celebrates the history of the Desert Thistle Pipe Band from 1976 to 2014.
